Meaningful and Sustainable Solutions to Increase Postpartum Depression Screening and Treatment

Meaningful and Sustainable Solutions to Increase Postpartum Depression Screening and Treatment
Interactive Practice GuidePostpartum depression (PPD) is one of the most common morbidities related to childbirth, yet it remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, with a mere 25% of patients ultimately receiving treatment. Untreated PPD can have dire consequences for mother, baby, and family, including suicide, which is the leading cause of death in the perinatal period. To address gaps in care, this educational activity has compiled educational resources and practical tools to help you improve guideline-recommended screening and management practices. It also includes downloadable slide decks and discussion guides to initiate meaningful conversations and improve interprofessional care within your team. Drive changes to positively impact care for your patients by conducting routine screening to recognize PPD earlier and reduce delays in initiating evidence-based treatment.
